    You guys have tie down straps in your trucks? What length straps do you have? I was looking at some 10' yesterday and was wondering if they'd be long enough :eek:

    Thats what I use. I keep 4, 10 foot tie straps, and they work well in our trucks.

    :thumbsup: Thanks Chris.

    I've always used rope and bungie cords, but thought I'd give them a try.

    Go longer than you need and get the adjustable ones where you feed the strap through the ratchet and just pull more strap through for a shorter strap.

    I had no idea they worked that way until the guy at fastenal showed me when I picked up my bumpers.

    You dont need anything too large either. For the light duty stuff (Under 500#) I use these:

    For the heavier stuff, I use the ratcheting ones:

    :thumbsup: I like that kind... we used to use that kind when building pallets for shipment.

    My only problem is I can't seem to get the non-ratchet type very tight :eek: I'm a weakling :anonymous: I doubt I'll ever haul anything over 500 lbs.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Already started to work on my sisters car. Picked up the car at a family christening today and on the way home noticed that the cigarette lighter was broken. Took off the dash trim and fixed that so I can use my GPS and XM radio on the way to work. ;)
